one drunken night leads to an agreement that if you and jungkook are still single by 30, you'd marry each other. the only thing is jungkook has been doing everything he can to keep you single.
He's been tossing and turning all night. Wishing he could redo the last two years. Wishing he could've been honest from the beginning. Wishing you didn't hate him right now.
Picking up his phone, he grumbles after seeing the time—six in the morning. There's no way you're up, he thinks. And there's no way you'll pick up his call either.
He assumes you've blocked him—wants nothing to do with him and doesn't blame you.
The expression on your face is ingrained in his memory, and the lies he told are on a continuous loop. How would he win you back—if you'd let him, that is.
It's that point in the romantic movie where the love interest finds the courage to go for it. Jungkook has nothing else to lose at this point. It's now or never.

With your favorite iced coffee and pastry in hand, he's ready to beg for your forgiveness. Beg for another chance to make things right.
Three knocks strike your door. No answer.
He gives it another moment before doing it again.
And nothing.
He pulls out his phone, searching for your contact. It rings several times and goes to voicemail. At least you didn't block him, he thinks.
Should he wait here all day? In hopes you'll leave your apartment?
Unless Namjoon has seen you or knows your whereabouts.
Jungkook figures, why not? What does he have to lose? He's already lost his dignity.
Another three knocks, only this time it's on Namjoon's door. A few moments later, the lock unlatches, and the door opens.
Namjoon's eyes widened at the sight of Jungkook. "Oh, hey. What's up?"
"Hey. Have you seen or heard from ___?"
He shakes his head. "Sorry, man. I haven't."
The corners of Jungkook's lips turn down, and he nods. "Fuck," he mumbles, lowering his head. He turns on his heel, ready to leave.
"Hey, Jungkook?"
He turns back and hums.
"If you like her, be honest with her," Namjoon says.
Jungkook rubs the back of his neck. "Did ___ tell you?"
Namjoon chuckles and shakes his head no. "I figured you were lying when you said she made everyone fly to a private island. She mentioned that she's never flown before. So I put two and two together, and it was hard to ignore all the glares you gave me at the party."
Jungkook closes his eyes, lowering his head. "I'm so sorry about all the lies I told you. None of them were true—except maybe the Mingyu thing. She does have an obsession with that guy."
